Westworld: What Makes Anthony Hopkins Great

Эй, Хопкинс! Ты, что там? Недоволен? Не нравится правда? Давай Хопкинс, думать о том, какие фильмы ты делаешь, а не о гонорарах!

For Myself It Is Just A-m-u-s-i-n-g The Silly Attempt To Pause This Man While Speaking Up, In Order To " Facial Expressions Be Analyzed"

It Is Even More Bonkers The Idea Itself Of Analyzing A Welsh Born And Bred Citizen, Out Of Strangers Of Other Nation Worldwide, Who Never Lived Or Never Visited, Not Even Once, The Welsh Part Of The United Kingdom.

Watched the last episode and got mad they didn’t made ending for Dolores and William together… Teddy is cool guy but the chemistry Dolores and younger William had is just… amazing. I really loved watching them. Am the only one who thinks Teddy does not suit to Dolores?! Oh my god this show should have ended with only season 1 with ending that Dolores stays in relationship with younger William… What a pity!! Really pity! I watched the whole show cuz of Dolores and William:(

I have never been convinced by an Anthony Hopkins performance. Although i can see his acting brilliance, as explained in this video, i think it lacks emotion or artistic feeling. He is also too similar in everything he plays.

Whenever I see him play a character I see just that, him playing a character. I don't see the individual or person that he is supposed to convey I can just see Anthony Hopkins playing his role. It's like he's mastered the mechanics and technique of acting but never actually lives the character. In a way it's like breaking the fourth wall whenever I see him in a movie or series. I can enjoy the performance and the mannerism and the speeches, but all the time what i'm seeing is Anthony Hopkins playing a character.

Even actors who have less experience and are less skilled are often more able to convincingly play a "character" or a part in a movie, perhaps because they have simplified it more.

Anthony Hopkins is easily the greatest actor of all time.

I’m rewatching Westworld, thought of this video 😀

I’m starting to think Anthony Hopkins is a good actor.

What a crappy end to such a brilliant beginning

beautiful

Oh, the good old days of Westworld. HBO could let us have only the first and second seasons. The others are not necessary. We are not sentimental types.

...

I wonder what would be playing a role with Sir Anthony

Damn I love this video's analysis. But in completely separately parallel to that, I feel like we should also give kudos to the stunning use of soundtrack here. Dr Ford happens to be the single piece of music I'd choose if ever asked to pick a favourite across any genre. I love it's dreamy quality, and how sections build/challenge/evolve each other as it progresses. I also how it is used so judiciously within Westworld season 1. And then how judiciously it is used again, differently but entirely in keeping with its use within Westworld, in this video. The pauses/repeats from minutes 2 to 4 in particular feel like a brilliant re-execution of a brilliant complement to a plot, which must have taken both musical and script editing to align here. Just. So. Well. Done. Sorry if this sounds to effusive but am so impressed with this - congrats to those involved on their talent, effort and achievement.

Started watching westworld a week ago and this scene made me love series even more

So sad. Westworld goes to the list of another great series that they didnt know when to end.

Amazing, perfect! I needed this for one fundamentation's discourse of teoric.🤩

Are you writing your own stories? You friggin' should be.

Hopkins was flawless. The music was literal perfection. Season one of Westworld was my personal pinnacle for what a show could be. I stopped watching after season two.

He really is masterful here. You only have to try reading his lines back as he does, in the same rhythm, and it just doesn't land at all. Sounds like a terrible impression of an over-the-top stage actor. Incredible what this man does, one of the best.

I came back to this vid after 2-3 years - I loved the editing and analysis, along with the acting - thanks!

Sir Anthony, Bravo, Bravo. You make movies, Videos, and Series Amazing, interesting, and enjoyable.

Hopkins is brilliant in his ability to subtly yet unmistakably convey menace or any emotion simply by his facial expressions and the tempo in which he speaks even while he is completely still and his body language calm.
Richard Burton told Dick Cavett in an interview that the ultimate for him as an actor was to get the greatest possible effect on an audience with the minimum possible visible effort. Anthony Hopkins exemplifies this skill incredibly well.

Often I come here and watch this, and, re-liking the amazing content about an amazing artist, actor. Knowing that if you do good enough what you do, it can't be forgotten. This is such a bliss to my life.

Can you do more body language analysis?

Are we living into a playground? It´s not only me that think it but many more. Greetings🌿

Brilliant stuff

I take christopher nolan, zack snyder, david ayer as ford and WB as dalos in real world.
can't let the artist do their job always wants to put nose for money

I know. It speaks for it's self. 8 minutes and 32 seconds of the obvious. plus you sound cheap

Oh my god, how perfect is the first season. Such a complex and deep piece of art. I have to watch it once again.

Hopkins teaching a masterclass on acting by just sitting at a table for lunch. (starstruck) legend!

I watched this video many times and I always had the impression that when Ford says "I do hope you will be careful with... Bernard...", he almost puts quotation marks in the "Bernard". To me it sounds like a hint that Bernard was actually an android.

Fly away now little Starling....fly fly fly

This is fun to intellectually analyze and break down the way he says every line, every word, but the truth is Hopkins is just living in the scene letting it rip. You could take any other take of the same scene and I’d bet 100 dollars that he speeds up, pauses, hits certain words in completely different place each time.

One of my favorite scenes from the series that completely showcases Hopkins' abilities. After Ford's ~demise? the show became "ambitious" - but still worth watching for me.

Nie da się od niego oderwać oczu-to AKTOR...

Your. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Mom is still there. Inside of. You. . God. Bless. Safe. Journey. 🥀

I honestly miss that feeling of seeing Westworld during the fall of 2016 for the first time..... those were good times, everything was in chaos cuz Trump won, it was hilarious

To me, this was the best dialogue in all of Westworld. Thanks for the great analysis.

Unpopular opinion: The Series lived through outstanding Anthony Hopkins a.k.a. Dr. Ford and died with him. Dr. Ford represented what Westworld once stood for: Philosophical dialogue, intriguing, complex but likeable characters and crazy twists. And without him, Westworld turned out to be only a shell of its former greatness.

I think you are exaggerating things a bit dude. I mean at the end of his day its his Job. Do you sit down and check how a janitor cleans a bathroom? Like "here he stops for a second to sees the dirty marks around the toilet seat. He glimpse at it long enough so he realizes he needs to get his Clorox to clean. ..............

Westworld like Game of Thrones start strong and stupid

Anthony Hopkins is easily the greatest actor of all time.

It's mesmerizing. In fact, the whole show is. But it wouldn't have been the same without Hopkins. Both him, Anthony Wright and Thandie Newton blew me away. I'd almost call it the best tv-show of the century were it not for that little series called The Leftovers.

A man of exqusite talent, insight and experience.

What makes Anthony Hopkis Great is because he puts his all in to his Art, Acting , Music, and words of wisdom.. He give us a WORLD OF HAPPINESS. I always look for the good in Sir Anthony. I really think he is a kind, loving handsome man. HE IS STRONG LIKE RAGING RIVER, BUT GENTLE LIKE A SOFT SPRING RAIN.. No matter what people say, I always will look for the good in Sir Anthony., Thank You Sir Anthony, Marion Coleman, Athens, Georgia.

Whatever part he plays, he elevates the scene with his acting. I was completely crushed by his acting in The remains of the day. You could feel every emotion and knew every thought of his character, such brilliance. Must say Emma Thompson was also next level acting. Anthony Hopkins is by far my most favorite actor of all times.

Great analysis of all the micro expressions. One that was missed, when Cullen says "I think we even sat at this table" Hopkins gives a knowing downward smile, he knows this is that exact table, it's another demonstration of his knowledge and power over the situation.

all that plus he loves kitties! :D
